Today was the beginning of my bible study/women's small groups at my church. I am the coordinator of this group. And I can tell you that this fact alone just shocks me. Simply and completely shocks me.

I often ask the staff at church why they let me lead anything. All I can say is that their trust, and mine for that matter, is in God only. Because, I sometimes wonder how I even make it through a day! Only by the grace of a mighty God.

So, here is the story of my morning. After I pack lunches and get my daughter off to school. Get my son dressed, force some breakfast down him and get him ready to go with me.

I thought by all accounts, I was managing just fine.

For weeks we (a team of phenomenal women) have been working up to this big kick-off morning.

With at least 90 women coming - we managed to get them all in small groups. Check.

We have childcare for their kids - God Bless those childcare workers and the childcare coordinator. Can I get an Amen? Check.

We introduced a fantastic new study on the book of Joshua that one of our women actually wrote! It is awesome! I truly feel to be such a small part of something much bigger there. Check.

Nametags, groups, women, chocolate, music, study books, room placement and a million other things I can't remember at this moment finally coming together this morning. Check.

I also had a friend stay with me last night who was in an accident some time ago and she wanted to come to the study. So, I managed to help her out as much as I could. She is doing incredible, by the way.

So, this morning, I needed to unload my van of all my stuff and to make sure my friend was near the front door.

Amen, Sistah! I am leading a very small little bible study for our church, and I feel SO unworthy of the position. But I'll just muddle along and hope that God uses me for his glory as I know He can only because He's, well, you know, GOD.
